Re: Sleep, melatonin and smartbands

I have an Oura ring. In addition to its interpretations of sleep cycles, I look at average heart rate, lowest heart rate and heart rate variability. These are real data, not interpretations. When I first was using it, 19 months ago, my deep sleep was 0-3 min/night. My heart rate was highest at bedti...
